What is a Meal Plan?

A Meal Plan unlocks delicious meals, coffee, snacks, and more, at 6 locations across campus. Your Meal Plan includes Meal Swipes and Flex Dollars, conveniently loaded onto your SBU student ID card. No need to carry additional cards or cash!

Swipes

Meal Swipes

Meal Swipes give you access to our all-you-care-to-eat dining location, Hickey Dining Hall.

Dollars

Flex Dollars

Flex Dollars may be used at any St. Bonaventure Dining location. Visit our locations page for location information, including dining hall menus and hours of operation.
